Even though most of us haven't started decorating for Christmas, I know we're all looking for ideas and inspiration. I'm wanting to do something a little different this year, so I'm soaking up all the "Christmas" that our local Open Houses have to offer. I visited Robin's Vintage Suitcase yesterday and walked in to a Christmas wonderland. Whites and Brights, elegant, with a vintage flair. The store was a feast for the eyes.

And speaking of Inspiration

here are a few links from last week...

Pam from House of Hawthornes has an interesting thought on collecting these Napco Turkey salt and peppers, candleholders, and planters. It will make you laugh and feel guilty at the same time.

Oh. My. Goodness. I don't think I'd be able to leave there without cleaning out my bank account! So much Christmassy goodness in one place! My favourite is the wee silver bird with the gold crown. Perfection in such a tiny little feathered body. Wonderful features too Debra. Thanks much for hosting. I'll be back to look at Robin's Vintage Suitcase images again when I've got more time to go over them with a fine tooth comb. Lovely.

Hi Debra... oooh, how I would love to go there!... I sooo want that little birdie wearing the crown!... I didn't think I could join your party today as I am in a MESS of vintage Christmas, but I hate to miss any of yours... and 13 is my lucky number... how could I not join number 113?... so I took some quick pics of some of my old ornaments out and joined today afterall... thank you so much for hosting the BEST parties ever... hope you have fun at the open house... can't wait to see what comes home with you!... much love, xoxo Julie Marie

Wow, Debra--your photos from the Vintage Suitcase stopped me in my tracks. I learned a lot from the pictures about vignette styling--these are just amazing--thank you so much for sharing them with us, as well as the gorgeous featured projects. I thank you as well for hosting the party for us today, and hope you have a lovely, music-filled weekend!

Great C'mas inspiration..I will start next week, right now I'm into Tksgiving. Wish I was in that place to inspire myself, as I'm not lately in the C'mas mooth, at all! Thank you for hosting this great party. Big hugs,FABBY

Hi Debra, alot of eye candy there! I debated about going to a Christmas open house of a fun store near me last night. Didn't and now I regret it. Great features and happy to be partying at your place!Hugs,Jann

Oh, everything is so beautiful, Debra! I wouldn't have wanted to leave! I'll tell you, the first thing I would have bought is that little bird with the crown. Love that! So much wonderful holiday inspiration. Thanks for sharing your visit!

Believe it or not Debra I have started just a tad decorating for Christmas. I love all this decor you shared. I wish I had something vintage to share at your party but I don't. Hopefully around the holiday I will.
